Re: Starcraft 2: 8 Medivac drop

Barcraft Report

DRG=DR. ZerG?
HuK made top 4, for the second MLG tournament in a row. It would be great to see some more canadians in the top 20. I think HuK can take the win one of these days, but he seems to get bogged down and ignore his Macro when a big complex fight breaks out. He did multidirectional pressure really well and did some excellent non-forcefield surrounds.

Won another 4 person party pack for the gaming center just down the road from me.

Barcraft + Berfday was awesome.
Baneling cake = win.

Signs from Barcraft
"Nerf Pylons"
"Do Not Clench Fish"
"Larva are OP"
"Make exceptions and defense them"
And a slew of player specific signs as well as various 'umad' type messages.

So much fun.

The entire tournament format was heavily against HuK. He had to play a lot more games compared to MKP (and so did DRG for that matter).
If they changed the format, he would have an extremely convincing chance of winning a MLG.

That is what I kept hearing as well. Any idea why the format stacked so many games on him?

I get it. It's because he's Canadian isn't it? I knew it!Blue text is sarcasm

Oh well. Nerf Pylons already!

Re: Starcraft 2: 8 Medivac drop

Well, I have been finding myself in increasingly rough waters in PvP, now that most toss open with a robo in some way as well. It sure was nice to see a 4 gate after all this time.

Edit: Also, it seems I'm getting better at going up against Protoss and Terran. It feels weird on delaying my expansion for so long, but I realized that I can't play protoss like a zerg, creating your whole army at the last second. Maybe this will be how I can stand up in ZvZ and start making more units than drones early on.

Re: Starcraft 2: 8 Medivac drop

Ugh.. I haven't played SC2 for AAAAAAGES! (holy crap, I just checked my account history, and the last game I've got listed was played on March 3rd. 2011!) I need to start up again.

Had to reinstall my computer since last time I played, though, so i need to reinstall SC2 as well. Been trying to follow some of the live streams from some of the recent tournaments, which has got me interested again.
Just need to get going with the install again, I guess.

I like the broadcasts by Husky and Day9, and I recently found the "State of the Game" show and watched a few of those episodes, even if they're not really about game play as much as discussions about what's been going on lately.

Re: Starcraft 2: 8 Medivac drop

I actually don't like Day[9]'s casting that much. His dailies are great, and so on, but I don't like his casting.

PsyStarcraft is great for diamond and lower zergs to learn some strategy, although he is quite crude. To say the least.

HDStarcraft can be amusing, but he is slowly dropping out of the scene as far as I can tell. He does work with IGN to do more professional stuff, but the channel is dying.

LagTV is funny, but definitely not a place to learn SC. Pretty crude at times as well. This is the most unique, in that they do only fan based games. Best known for when cheese fails.

Ahnaris is pretty good, but I don't have enough time to watch him that frequently due to the others I have listed.

Oh I forgot Husky, somehow. Husky is probably the best solo caster in terms of entertainment. His knowledge of the game mechanics is sometimes dodgey, and misses a lot of stuff in terms of drops. That said he is by far the most funny and energetic for casting.

Those are the only ones I can remember while sitting here at work.

Re: Starcraft 2: 8 Medivac drop

Got the game installed last night. Then had to wait for the patching to get done, which took a while, and in the mean time i got bored waiting for it and sat in front of the tv for a while, and ended up not gettign back to the computer until about 1:30am.. Just enough time to start up the game and watch the intro, only to then shut it down and go to bed.

I'll try to get a game or two in this evening.
Anyone on the EU server that want to kick my ass?

I'm game. I really need to start playing proper 1v1's again.

Edit: I'd also be up for monobattling on US this weekend if I get the time. I've gotten quite good with Queens, Hellions and Sentries. I like a challenge.

Re: Starcraft 2: 8 Medivac drop

I don't think I will be able to get on. My laptop that I had Starcraft 2 on was stolen. I filed a police report with the serial number, but that's about the best I can do. I'm trying to find a replacement for it currently.
